Syria: If US Attacks Us, We'll Attack Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/26/2013 | David Lev

Posted on 08/26/2013 2:25:58 PM PDT by TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed

As talk and rumors of an impending Western attack against Syria mount, a top Syrian official said Monday that if attacked, his country would react – against Israel.

Speaking to an Arabic-language radio station operated by the United States, Syria's Deputy Information Minister Halaf Al-Maftah said that Israel would face not only Syria in the event that the US, Britain and France attempted to unseat Bashar al-Assad. A coalition consisting of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria would respond to any attack against Assad with a response against Israel. In addition, terrorist groups in Syria and Lebanon would attack Israel with full force.

I expect this to escalate into a hot war on September 4, 2013 (Rosh ha Shanah) or just after. This would coincide with terrorist threats made against Israel timed to be carried out during Jewish holy days.

That will just further Obama’s desire to bomb Syria. He despises Israel. This could get really ugly really quickly.

“If you don’t buy this magazine, the puppy gets shot.”

I don’t believe that Assad would do that. His army has to be weakened by the long civil war. Israel would make sure he was a dead man, as well.

That's the domino logic that got WWI started. Be careful.

This strategy has always resided at the back of my brain,one that is very real, makes very much sense.A leader like Assad under threat of losing it all and worse realizes there’s nothing to lose in taking enemies like Israel down with him in destructive nihilistic manner.

I believe this is just the beginning. Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38 & 39 must be fulfilled. This is not a time for anyone who fears God to be messing around. We should confess our sins, pray for Israel, and stay in God's Word.

Iraq???? LOL! When I left there, they couldn't guard their borders. They needed us to do it.
Of course, we have been giving them high tech equipment. That could be a stumbling block if it hasn't been sent to Iran already.

The muslims have been itching for this war. Meanwhile Russia is in the background, and maybe China too.

And it is all unfolding as our own military has been absolutely gutted in the last 3 years. Defense is hobbled by Sequestration and poor leadership. If we get into this war, it will go badly for us.

Be very,very careful what you spout. The US will make a silly little attempt to “fire a warning shot”, when Israel decides to get involved it will reach down your throat and pull out your entrails.

Israel is probably in better shape to fight a war than the US.

Israel’s response will be much worse than President Milquetoast will ever deliver. Course, he will still be able to take the bows.

“Damascus Glass” will take on an entirely different meaning.
